Editorial Reviews

Not Dark Yet was recorded in Los Angeles in the summer of 2016. The album provides a potent look at the sisters' individual and collective artistry through eclectic song choices from writers ranging from the Louvin Brothers, Nick Cave, Kurt Cobain, and back to Jessie Colter. Shelby and Allison wrap their arms around the past, plant their feet in the present, and nod toward what's around the bend with a co-written Is It Too Much to close out the ten-song set.

“No one else bears this heavy load / Bring it here to my side…Don’t you know you ain’t by yourself / I’m right here to help you lay it down.”

The quotation above is from "Is It Too Much", the closing song on "Not Dark Yet" the much anticipated new CD from Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer. The record more than fulfills its promise, as you will realize long before the closing song.

The Moorer girls are each superbly talented and their collaboration magnifies and spotlights the artistry of each while transcending those talents and transporting the listener to a place of wonder and beauty.

The incisive production of the record by Teddy Thompson and the fabulous musicianship of the players complement the vocal instruments in a subtle yet effective manner while suggesting that each song could be performed with little or no accompaniment and still move hearts in a remarkable direction.

A lyric found in "Into My Arms" declares that "I don't believe in the existence of angels" and with that I heartily disagree. Proof of their existence exists in the songs on this record.

I waited, oh, my whole life for these sisters to do this, and it was worth the wait. This is definitely sounds like a labor of love, and I can't wait for the next Sissy record, which they promised would contain more self-written songs. If you care about these artists, 'cause that's what both of them are in the truest sense, don't miss this experience.

I think every dedicated Shelby Lynne fan has dreamed of a Sisters album. And, it seemed like just a dream. This album is that dream realized and, amazing beyond words, it is BETTER than anything we could have imagined. Take two super talented sisters and blend them. It will probably be great. This is so much more. At times I did not know who was singing and then just the subtlest difference would reveal Shelby or Allison "Sissy". Close your eyes and visualize two one of a kind singers transforming their sounds into a cosmic dance of shared soul and tragedy allowing love to weave them back together again. This album takes my breathe away.

Sisters are killing it! What a record! The only song off is the one by Kurt Cobain. It just doesn't belong here but it might be perfect for another record. The Nick Cave song is by far the best thing here. I'd like to see the sisters do a whole album of songs by Leonard Cohen!

I'm a fan of both of these ladies and was looking forward to this release. I loved it, especially how their voices mesh.. Great harmonies and a good choice of songs. .I'd love to see them record together again in the future. I only wish there were more songs on this cd. Great job ladies !

I admit that I voted for stars by way of my emotions. Anyone who knows the background of these two sisters has to be affected by that. It's OK because they are both extremely talented and deserve a favorable response.to this achievement. MHO.
